Nick Buss has elected to become a free agent.

Buss cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week, but he had the opportunity to test free agency rather than go to Triple-A. The 29-year-old batted 198/.247/.346 over 90 plate appearances in the majors this season. Oct 13 - 5:36 PM

Angels sent OF Nick Buss outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Buss had been designated for assignment after hitting just .198/.247/.346 over 90 plate appearances for the Halos. He'll stick around in the organization. Oct 10 - 5:33 PM

Angels designated OF Nick Buss for assignment.

Buss got the boot after the Angels claimed relievers Blake Parker and Kirby Yates off waivers from the Yankees. The 29-year-old appeared in 36 games with the Angels this season and batted .198/.247/.346 over 90 plate appearances. Oct 5 - 3:36 PM

Nick Buss singled, hit a two-run homer and stole a base in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Unfortunately for Buss and the Angels, the outfielder's two-run shot in the second inning represented their only runs of the night. Buss has been getting regular playing time in left field, although he had been in a funk before Tuesday. The 29-year-old could carve out some AL-only value. Aug 23 - 10:16 PM

Albert Pujols underwent successful surgery on Friday to release his right plantar fascia.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Robert Anderson in North Carolina. The typical recovery time for this surgery is estimated at four months, which will impact his availability early in spring training as well as his regular off-season routine. This news should push Pujols down a couple of rounds in early fantasy drafts.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia said that the team will not overwork Garrett Richards (elbow) in 2017.

Richards underwent stem cell treatment for a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament in May, ending his season at that very early juncture. He is expected to be ready for spring training, but the Angels are going to be reasonably cautious as the season unfolds. Said Scioscia, "You’re not going to see Garrett throwing 220 innings next year. I hate to put a floor on (the innings) and have to get into a range right now, but I can tell you that we are going to be very, very careful with where Garrett is and make sure that he rebounds and maintains his stuff." Richards has pitched more than 170 innings just once in his big league career.

Cam Bedrosian underwent surgery Tuesday on the embolus in his right armpit.

Embolus is the scientific term for a blood clot. Bedrosian is expected to be able to resume full baseball activities in 6-8 weeks, so he should enter spring training next February at 100 percent health. The 24-year-old right-hander finished the 2016 season with a stellar 1.12 ERA and 51/14 K/BB ratio in 40 1/3 innings.
